Economists warn: Trump’s science cuts threaten the U.S. economy.

Slashing funding for NIH, NSF, and NASA hurts every American. These cuts are killing jobs, stalling innovation, and shrinking our economic future.

We all pay the price when science is defunded.

We are happy to see Sharyn Alfonsi and @60minutes.bsky.social covering the existential crisis facing science in the United States.

Huge swaths of the public are unaware of Trump's dismantling of research. From big media stories to conversations with friends--every bit counts!
